I disagree. If he'll is in the mix, this offense could very well supersede its production and numbers from last year. Mahomes doesn't strike me as the regressing sort. [Reply]

Usually, I would agree with that. This situation is unique, though.
Usually a year of film allows opposing DCs time to develop ways to take away tendencies and to force the QB to work outside of his comfort zone. They identify what to take away and and try to recreate situations that caused the QB trouble the previous year.
This offense has so many top shelf weapons everywhere at Mahomes disposal that I’m not sure anything’s gonna work.
I mean, what are the counter punches?
Keep him in the pocket and take away Hill and Kelce?
Then either Watkins or Hardman are left covered by someone that won’t be up to the task.
Even the best defenses in football don’t have the personnel to match up. [Reply]
